Events Center Background The Events Center, in support of the Binghamton University
Mission, is the University’s primary indoor venue for large-scale events and celebrations
of campus life. It is a multi-role facility, serving members of the campus and greater
community and connecting the athletic activities of students with others on the campus.

The Events Center affirms Binghamton University's status as one of the strongest comprehensive
public universities in the Northeast. It is a prominent sign of the University's commitment
to its constituents, the local community, and athletics. The facility, located on
the northern end of campus is part of a larger complex that includes the West Gym,
tennis courts, and playing fields.

The state-of-the-art facility represents the fulfillment of a decade of planning and
development for a center that can accommodate events of all types for up to 10,000
people. The campus community and friends are now able to join underneath one roof
for convocations, Commencement, concerts, major speakers, and other special events.
The center also features superior acoustics and equipment for the presentation of
live concerts. In addition, the Events Center is home to the NCAA Division I Binghamton
Bearcats.

These facilities exist to serve the educational, athletic, entertainment, and cultural
interests of the students, faculty, and staff of Binghamton University as well as
the greater community to which the University belongs. External groups may use the
facilities when it does not conflict with university use and then only when granted
the permission of Binghamton University.

Binghamton University reserves the right to refuse use of facilities to any group
sponsoring a function which does not meet the standards of Binghamton University,
or which the university determines to be detrimental to the academic, community, or
state interests of the university.

Policy

This policy addresses reservation and use of the Binghamton University Events Center.
Management Procedure 212, "Use of Binghamton University Facilities," provides an umbrella
policy for all facilities usage. Issues not addressed in this policy may be addressed
there.

Booking Control

The Office of Events Center Manager (OECM) exercises reservation, booking, and contracting
for all events in the facility.

Event Booking Criteria

The Events Center expressly reserves the right to accept, modify, refuse, or terminate
bookings in accordance with this Policy; and to solicit, develop, or promote any event
consistent with Events Center objectives and interests of the University. The Events
Center may consider the following factors in evaluating potential bookings:Projected benefit to the UniversitySeasonal factors and repeat booking potentialClient’s performance with respect to prior events at the Events Center and/or similar
facilitiesProjected direct revenue to the Events CenterValue of the event to the greater community

In order to preserve the image of the University and protection of the facility, the
OECM will consult with others in the approval of events. Those contacted will include
University Communications and Marketing, the departments of University Police, Environmental
Health & Safety, and Physical Facilities.

Event Booking Hierarchy

For purposes of this policy, events are categorized as to nature and benefit to the
University. Higher-ranking category bookings may override non-contracted bookings
and contracted bookings under the definitions of the contract.

The following categories are booked as far in advance as possible.

Binghamton University commencement exercises and ceremonies sponsored by the President’s
Office

Activities sponsored by departments and agencies of the University other than those
above

Activities sponsored by external organizations and individuals.

Major multi-day events and larger recurring events.

Local one-time events.

Confirming and Contracting

Tentative Booking: Space and dates held by the Events Center for a specified period
prior to Contract or release by either party. Tentative Bookings are subject to Challenges,
as set forth below and the Events Center may release a Tentative Booking without notice
after expiration. A Tentative Booking for a single-day event more than 6 months in
the future is subject to cancellation at the Events Center’s discretion.

Release Date: Date at which a Tentative Booking expires. At this point the Events
Center may release or cancel the booking, extend it by mutual agreement, or proceed
to contract as appropriate.

First Option Booking: A Tentative Booking held by the Events Center, subject to the
terms of this policy until the Release Date; at which time the holder must either
proceed to contract or release the booking.

Second Option Booking: A Tentative Booking accepted by the Events Center secondary
to a prior (First Options) booking for the same space/dates. A Second Option becomes
a First Option in the event of release of the prior First Option by either party.

Contract: The Events Center’s basic contract is a Revocable Permit, which explicitly
illustrates rights and responsibilities of the Permittee (Client) and the University.
The document is legally binding and should be carefully reviewed before execution.

Contract Cutoff Date: Date by which a contract must be signed and deposit posted
(if necessary) to keep a booking in effect. This protects the Events Center against
loss from sudden or close-in cancellation of an event for which a contract has been
issued but not executed. The Events Center may cancel any booking without notice
at any time after the Contract Cutoff Date.

Date Protection

A protection clause may be granted at the Events Center’s sole discretion to certain
recurring public events. A protection clause, of granted, will be included in the
contract which will not be issued earlier than eighteen (18) months prior to the event.
A protected period shall not exceed sixty (60) days plus the show days, with a minimum
of fifteen (15) days protected both prior to and following the event. Date protection
does not normally apply to trade shows, conventions, or events not open to the public.

A protection clause, if granted, may read as follows: “The Events Center agrees that
it will not contract any portion of the Events Center to a competing event for a protected
period commencing _____ days before Permittee’s first show day, and concluding _____
days after Permittee’s last show day.”

A competing event is a candidate event with fifty (50%) percent or more duplication
or replication of exhibited products or services of those in the established event,
as defined by net square footage of exhibit space; provided that the event open to
the public shall normally not be deemed to compete with an event open only to trade.
Determination of whether or not an event is a competing event lies solely within the
Events Center’s discretion.

When a date is reserved and confirmed only a higher priority function can supersede
it, and only in the most unusual circumstances. After the date is confirmed as available,
the Events Center Director must be contacted for approval of the event and the ensuing
arrangements. This includes athletic camps and non-intercollegiate athletic events.

Challenges

A client (Challenger) requesting dates and space for which there is already a Tentative
(First Option) Booking in place may challenge the booking by posting a deposit, at
the Events Center’s discretion, of up to 100% of the estimated rent for the requested
booking. The Events Center will then inform First Option Holder of the challenge
and offer the holder the option to, within 3 business days: 1.) post a deposit equal
to that posted by Challenger, and execute a contract or other acceptable binder, or
2.) release the booking. Upon holder’s decision, the Events Center will promptly
notify the parties of its action.

Deposits

The deposit establishes Permittee’s commitment to contract the space on the specific
dates. Non-refundable deposits must be posted by the Permittee concurrent with the
execution of the contract. As Permitter, the Events Center is legally obligated to
hold contracted space and dates for Permittee under the terms of the contract; therefore
the Events Center is not obligated to accept any contract not accompanied by the required
deposit, or to maintain the booking. The Events Center may retain deposit(s) as liquidated
damages in the event of cancellation (see below) and these terms are subject to change.Category A, B, C, D, E, and F – no deposit required.Category G.1. – non-refundable deposit of up to 50% of contract rental is required
upon contract execution.Category G.2. – non-refundable deposit of up to 100% of contract rental plus full
estimated expenses is required upon contract execution.

Cancellation

Cancellations by Permittee of an event covered by the contract will be subject to
a cancellation fee as liquidated damages, as set forth in the contract.

Facility Use Application

The Events Center may require submission of a Facility Use Application, as a condition
of accepting a booking; and use information gained thereby to evaluate the booking
on the basis of client’s credit history, financial stability, performance under any
prior contract, or other verifiable factor which may affect the Events Center’s objectives
herein.

Rental, Payment, and Billing

The Rental Day including event day(s) and move-in/move-out day(s), is from 7:00 am
to 6:00 pm.

Assignment: Permittee may not assign the contracted facilities or any rights under
the contract without the Events Center’s prior written approval.

Payment for all services shall be in cash, check, or money order made payable to Binghamton
University Events Center. Certified funds may be required for certain events.

Deferred Billing is generally not available, however, the Events Center, at its sole
discretion may approve such billing upon inquiry.

II. Facilities

Various spaces within the Events Center may be used to support events including the
concourse, arena (seating area and main floor sections), and other rooms (e.g., G16
Meeting Room, G30 Media Room, Tau Bearcat Club Room, and locker rooms G2, G3, and
G5). No other locker rooms are to be used without the express consent of the Athletic
Director (updated June 19, 2007). Administrative offices are not available. Laundry,
issue room, strength training, sports medicine and administrative offices are not
to be used for external events support, without the express consent of occupants.

III. Activity Priorities and Resolution of Conflicts

Every effort is made to arrange time schedules so that the Binghamton University intercollegiate
athletic teams, university-sponsored entertainment, and student organizations can
be accommodated. It is the understanding of the university that intercollegiate athletic
contests have priority in the Events Center except for university events such as commencement
and large-scale events as noted above. It is understood that the Events Center will
collaborate with Athletics in arranging for concerts and other such events that are
brought to campus. Conflicts will be resolved between the Events Center Director and
the other appropriate persons on campus.

Athletics may reserve dates up to 12 months in advance for contest events (intercollegiate
basketball games, tennis matches, track meets, conference post-season play) and the
University will actively market the Events Center on all other dates.

IV. Charges for Facility Usage

Sponsoring groups will be responsible to pay rent (when applicable) and reasonable
and necessary expenses for services associated with the use of the facility (e.g.,
equipment use, set-up, staffing, security, clean-up, damages, etc.). This will permit
the Events Center and planning unit(s) to recover all direct costs resulting from
the activity. A deposit may be required to cover damage or losses suffered as a result
of a performance, event, or activity.

Fee schedules for the Events Center are available through the Office of Events Center
Director.

V. Other Requirements

The University’s contracted vendor(s), in conjunction with the Binghamton University
Events Center, reserves the right to all concessions and sale of merchandise at facilities
covered by this policy. These vendors may choose to waive the right to sell on a case-by-case
basis.
